Better than previous model
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely an upgrade from the prior model. Much smaller which is great. The case is also smaller which is also good. Both were too big before. Easier controls and better options for sound management.

Posted .Hi BBall, Great! Thank you for upgrading to your new Sony WF1000XM5! We're glad you appreciate the XM5's more compact design, intuitive controls, and sound adjustment options to fit your preference. The WF1000XM5 features cutting-edge technology to deliver premium sound quality and the best noise-canceling performance on the market. Noise reduction algorithms developed with AI machine learning suppress ambient noise and ensure the person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly even in noisy situations. For total convenience, the WF-1000XM5 can be paired with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so, when a call comes in, your headphones can automatically connect to the right one. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these headphones – so you can keep moving to the music. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam
Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product, noise cancellation is slightly improved from the previous xm4's. I'm not a fan of the coating they used compared to the xm4's, although that may be more of a personal preference.

Posted .Hi FrankA,
We are so sorry to hear that you're not getting the sound quality you were hoping for with your WF-1000XM5 earbuds. To get the best sound, the fit is crucial. In the Sony | Headphones Connect app, try the "Determines Optimal Earbud Tips" test to find the best size for your ears. You can also use the equalizer in the app to customize the sound to your liking.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
